Expansion draft

edit

The 1992 MLB expansion draft was held on November 17, 1992. As opposed to previous expansion drafts such as the 1961 draft, players from both leagues were available to the expansion clubs. Each existing club could protect fifteen players on their roster from being drafted and only one player could be drafted from each team in the first round. Then for each additional round National League teams could protect an additional three players and American League teams could protect four more. All unprotected major and minor league players were eligible except those chosen in the amateur drafts of 1991 or 1992 and players who were 18 or younger when signed in 1990.

Round 1

edit
Trevor Hoffman, the all-time career leader in saves, was one of the more notable picks of the 1992 Expansion Draft, selected with the 8th pick overall.

1992 MLB June amateur draft and minor league affiliates

edit

The Marlins and Colorado Rockies, set to debut in 1993, were allowed to participate in all rounds of the June 1992 MLB first-year player draft. The Marlins selected 28th overall in the first round, with catcher Charles Johnson their top (and most successful) pick. Of the 50 amateur free agents selected, only one other, pitcher Andy Larkin, reached the major leagues.[9] The Marlins affiliated with two minor league clubs during 1992 to develop drafted players.
